Surroundings
Get on your bike
Surrounding the glamping in Espira de Conflent are some great routes for cycling enthusiasts. These include several cycling routes in the nearby Pyrenees, such as the famous Col du Tourmalet, which has been featured in the Tour de France. The region is also home to the Voie Verte, a network of bike trails that stretches for 20 km from Ille-sur-Têt to Saint-Paul-de-Fenouillet, past picturesque villages and stunning natural scenery.
Visit some wine caves
The Pyrénées-Orientales has a rich tradition of winemaking, and the area is best known for its sweet fortified wines, such as Banyuls and Maury, which are made from grapes grown on steep terraces overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. Many of the local wineries offer tours and tastings, so if you are a wine lover, the Pyrénées-Orientales is definitely a suitable region for a good glass of wine.
Discover Perpignan
The city of Perpignan is a 40-minute drive from the campsite and is known for its rich history, distinctly Catalan culture and unique blend of French and Catalan culture. In the city you will find the Palace of the Kings of Majorca, a magnificent Gothic palace built in the 13th century that served as the residence of the kings of Majorca. Don't forget the city's thriving culinary scene, with local specialties such as fresh seafood, Catalan stews and an array of delicious desserts and pastries. Several cultural festivals are held throughout the year, including the Estivales de Perpignan, a summer music and art festival, and the Visa Pour l'Image, an international festival of photojournalism.
Fun 20 minutes away
To have a fun day in the area, you don't have to drive far. Discover the impressive Grottes des Canalettes, just a 20-minute drive from Camping Canigou. These enchanting caves will amaze you with their stalactites, stalagmites and illuminated underground lakes. A special day in nature, and a magical experience for young and old alike! Another option 20 minutes away is a visit to beautiful Villefranche-de-Conflent, a medieval walled town. Stroll through the narrow streets, admire the impressive fortifications and sample local specialties in the cozy restaurants. Once back at glamping in France, unwind in your luxury safari tent.

A fine campsite for youth from 15 to 21 years old. It is a small friendly campsite where there is a lot of attention for the youth. Activities are organized every day (during the day: volleyball, water polo. in the evening: pub quiz, swingo, karaoke.)The outdoor activities are mainly outside the campsite. The youth gather on the terrace from about 21 o'clock. Here they may stay until 02.00 or so. Around that time it is not quiet on the campsite but you can not expect that. If you are looking for a campground where the youth have a good time together, this is the place to be. Looking for a campsite where it is quiet from 23 hours . Then I would not choose this campsite. My daughter had the time of her life last summer. And we enjoyed it too. Beautiful surroundings, nice towns, yellow train, Andorra. The Dutch owners are friendly and helpful. Worth repeating!

Een fijne camping voor jeugd van 15 tot 21 jaar. Het is een kleine gemoedelijke camping waar veel aandacht is voor de jeugd. Elke dag worden er activiteiten georganiseerd (overdag: volleybal, waterpolo. 's avonds: pubquiz, swingo, karaoke.)De outdoor activiteiten zijn voornamelijk buiten de camping. De jeugd komt vanaf een uur of 21 samen op het terras. Hier mogen ze tot een uur of 02.00 blijven. Het is rond dat tijdstip dan ook niet stil op de camping maar dat kun je ook niet verwachten. Zoek je een camping waar de jeugd het samen gezellig heeft dan moet je hier zijn. Zoek je een camping waar het vanaf 23 uur stil is.. Dan zou ik niet voor deze camping kiezen. Mijn dochter heeft afgelopen zomer de tijd van haar leven gehad. En wij hebben ook genoten. Mooi omgeving, leuke stadjes, gele trein, Andorra. De Nederlandse eigenaren zijn vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Voor herhaling vatbaar!

Stood for 5 nights in September. Very quiet in the late season. Plumbing simple and clean. Beautiful surroundings for biking and hiking. Climb to the village and bike to Eus, recommended for beautiful views! For shopping and eating out you have to go to Prades, 8 km away. There is a nice market there on Tuesday morning.

Nice vacation had, in a beautiful place with lots to do. The reason for the 2 stars: communication. After our vacation 2x Canigou Outdoor and 2-3 times emailed the campsite with a question (important to us), but no response from either.

Mooie vakantie gehad, op een prachtige plek waar veel te doen is. De reden voor de 2 sterren: communicatie. Na onze vakantie 2x Canigou Outdoor en 2-3 keer de camping gemaild met een (voor ons belangrijke) vraag, maar van beiden geen enkele reactie.

Beautiful location, great weather and lots to do and see. Nice campsite with fresh bread in the morning. Brilliant swimming pool made out of the river that runs through the middle of the campground through a dam. So fresh water is constantly supplied. The water is quite cold, but nice when the weather is hot.

Mooi locatie, heerlijk weer en heel veel te doen en te zien. Leuke camping met verse brood in de ochtend. Briljante zwembad uit de rivier gemaakt die midden door de camping loopt doormiddel van een dam. Zo wordt er continu vers water aangevoerd. Het water is flink koud, maar lekker als het heet weer is.
